Skyrim Update 1.5 Rolling Out Soon

News | March 16, 2012 8:36 am
Well, looks like Bethesda is still working hard to bring Skyrim fans more of what they want. And by that, I don't mean backward flying dragons! Detailed on the official Bethesda Blog, Skyrim will be receiving a 1.5 title update. Currently the update is available in Beta form through Steam, and will be rolling out for 360 and PS3 shortly.

Aside from various bug fixes and patches, which are outlined below, the update will also feature a "kill camera" for use with ranged and magic attacks. A video of this new feature is showcased here, and offers fans a sneak peek at this interesting addition.

Bethesda has also stated that they "...plan on adding even more features with upcoming free updates and game add-on content." Sounds good to me! After all, nothing bad can come of more Skyrim!

NEW FEATURES

-New cinematic kill cameras for projectile weapons and spells
